Sometimes there is no better way to give than to donate time, energy, and knowledge. Through our mission projects and trips, we help people who are struggling with the challenges of poverty, communities that lack resources to repair damage from natural disasters, and we bring God’s light to dark places of our community and world. Below, you will find a list of the different missions with which Center UMC is involved. If you are interested in signing up, or need any additional information for any of these missions, just click the “Contact" button, and you can e-mail that missions coordinator.

As the Missions Chair at Center UMC, I believe the Missions at our church as being the hands and feet of God. Center also has a long tradition of tithing our mission budget (10% of annual budgeted expenses). Our church family is very active in the community and throughout the world. See for yourself below and come be a part of our church family which are always willing to help! - Aaron Whitfield

FAITH WORKS

FaithWorks is an outreach ministry designed to allow followers of Jesus Christ to put their faith into action. The heart of this ministry is found in Ephesians 2:10, For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Our ministering spans from adopting a family in need anonymously to hosting a community ice cream social. We encourage anyone looking to put their faith into action to share ministry opportunities with us!

GOOD SAMARITAN CLASS MEALS FOR SHUT-INS

The Good Samaritan Sunday School Class is sharing our blessings within our church family and spreading into the community with Meals of Love on Monday afternoons. We started this ministry in August 2017.
We prepare and deliver home cooked meals weekly to numerous shut ins, widows, and those recovering from illnesses. Our number recently topped fifty folks where we provide a nourishing meal and a brief visit. The support from the class members has been wonderful and the feedback from those on the receiving end is always so appreciative.

KAIROS PRISON MINISTRY

You can help this special Prison Ministry by remembering to pray and bake cookies, as we use both to reach those in Prison. The cookies are tools in which God uses to break stubborn hardened hearts in order to receive Him. Remember to pack them when cool and carefully stack them in a box packed with your prayers!

We meet the fourth Tuesday evening of the month at 6:00pm in the Fellowship Hall. Bring your sewing machines, scissors and come help with our mission work. Even if you do not sew, there is prep work to be done and we could use your help!

YOUTH YARD WORK PROJECTS

Throughout the year our Youth at Center are busy spreading blessings around our community one yard at a time. Through their efforts of mowing, weeding, mulching and cleaning up yards around town they are able to lessen a task for the elderly, those recovering from illnesses or anyone in need of help. They also work on our church grounds once a year during vacation bible school.
